James and Other Apes
I first saw these images in a newspaper article in Australia with a blurb about each primate and loved it so much, it ended up hung up in our house,whereupon everyone who saw it couldn't help but talk about them. Years later I discovered Amazon, found they had the book and finally got my hands on it. It was a smaller book than I thought, I thought it would be a big coffee table book but despite the size it is still compelling and heart wrenching and uplifting to have and to hold... and people are still poring over the photos and talking about these beautiful poignant little faces. Worth having.
Summary of James Mollison: James & Other Apes
Fifty great apes--chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos, our closest biological relatives--are featured in this series of portraits by James Mollison. Photographed over a span of four years in seven ape sanctuaries (in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Germany and the United States), they are mainly orphans, victims of the illicit trade in "bushmeat." Djeke, Fizi, Gregoire, James, Koto and the others are all photographed as unique individuals, in the manner of passport photographs, while representing species whose survival is under threat. Featuring case note biographies and introduced with a powerful essay by Jane Goodall, this book celebrates the great apes. The faces that look back at us also raise profound moral and scientific questions--including what it means to define ourselves "human."Artists, A-Z Books
